Walnut used me to boost her sales performance.

Jiang Bai originally thought that the hall master's space should be more than enough, but it was far from enough to take all of these things with him.

All fear stems from insufficient firepower. With enough firepower to blow up the entire city of Mondstadt, he refused to believe that the Frost Spike couldn't be shattered.

However, we still need to control it to avoid blowing up the summit of the snow-capped mountain.

Jiang Bai loaded two huge piles of explosives, and didn't stop until the ring space was completely full.

This immediately reduced the inventory here by one-fifth.

He wasn't worried about not having enough. He had already opened a teleportation point in Mondstadt when he arrived, so he could just teleport over and get more if needed.

That's how carefree it is to be able to teleport.

"set off!"

Claire, with her cheerful little steps, was the first to run out of the house.

The weight on her back seemed to have disappeared, and it didn't affect her running and jumping at all.

"Slow down, don't fall."

Two horses were tied up at the entrance of the villa; they were brought over by Kaiya this morning.

The saddle bears the knightly insignia exclusive to the order, clearly indicating that this is a horse belonging to the knights.

Both horses were in excellent condition, with bright eyes, plump bodies, and soft, smooth manes.

Upon seeing them emerge, one of the brown-red horses reared up and let out a loud snort.

Kaiya walked over and gently stroked its reddish-brown mane. The horse nuzzled against his head affectionately.

It was obvious that this reddish-brown horse was his mount.

"The snow-capped mountain is quite far, let's go on horseback."

Chapter 133 A Bad Premonition

Compared to running on two legs, it is obviously faster to use a means of transportation.

There were horses at the Hall of Rebirth, and Jiang Bai had ridden them when he had nothing to do, so he was not unfamiliar with horseback riding.

However, he doesn't need a horse to go out, because horses can't teleport.

As for Hu Tao, he simply thought he could run faster than a horse.

"it is good."

Kaeya lifted Klee onto his horse, and the three of them rode out of the city.

With the clatter of hooves, Jiang Bai pulled on the reins as he galloped across the grassland, sending grass clippings flying into the air before circling back to the ground.

Keli sat on the horse with her arms outstretched, cheering, completely unafraid of falling off at high speed.

Riding a horse was indeed faster than Jiang Bai using his two legs. The three of them galloped along, occasionally stopping to let the horses rest and graze, and arrived at the camp at the foot of the snow mountain before dark.

This is a large campsite specifically for adventurers traveling to and from the snow-capped mountains to rest.

The camp has a blacksmith to repair adventurers' equipment, a proprietress who sells steaming hot food, shops that sell all kinds of warm clothing, and taverns and inns where adventurers can drink and rest...

It is these adventurers who keep the business going here.

However, as it was getting dark, there weren't many adventurers traveling to and from the snow-capped mountains, so the camp wasn't very lively.

"Let's rest here for the night and go up the mountain tomorrow," Kaiya said, stretching as he led his horse.

After a day of riding horses, not only were the horses tired, but they were also exhausted, especially their buttocks ached from the jolting.

"Ah."

It's common knowledge that climbing snow-capped mountains at night is not a good idea.

Even Klee, who was eager to go up the mountain, didn't insist on leaving now.

After tying the horse to the stable and entrusting it to an acquaintance, Kaiya led Jiang Bai and Keli to a small restaurant.

He placed one hand on the counter, index finger touching thumb, and tossed it upwards. A glittering Mora landed on the table with a crisp sound.

"What would you like to eat? This meal is on me."

"Then I won't stand on ceremony." Since someone was offering to treat him, Jiang Bai naturally wouldn't refuse and immediately ordered several signature dishes.

Klee stretched out her little hand, "Klee wants some warm milk!"

"no problem!"

While eating, Jiang Bai was somewhat absent-minded.

He was thinking about walnuts.

The distance from Mondstadt to the snowy mountains is much shorter than from Liyue Harbor. Moreover, because the directions are different, in order to save time, even if Hu Tao arrives at the snowy mountains, she will only choose the nearest mountain road, so the chance of encountering them is very small.

After saying goodbye to Hu Tao, he had traveled from Liyue Harbor to here, and a whole day and a full day had passed. He wondered where the leader of the hall was now, given his speed...

Hu Tao was also at the foot of the snow-capped mountain. She was walking fast, but it still took her quite a while. At this moment, one was in the east and the other in the west, separated by an entire mountain range.

Hu Tao pitched a tent near the spot where Jiang Bai had set up his own tent and sat by the fire roasting chicken legs.

"Sigh, I really envy Jiang Bai for being able to teleport at times like this. Why can't I teleport?"

She muttered to herself out of boredom, and a little ghost emerged from her body and perched on her shoulder.

She reached out and poked Little Ghost, as if poking into a large block of jelly, leaving a deep dent in Little Ghost's body.

"Youyou, why can't you teleport me with you?"

Little Ghost: (???∞)

It's just a little ghost, teleportation is too much to ask of it!

Walnut grabbed its little tail, then let go, and the little ghost flew away like a deflated balloon.

"Eat first, then go to sleep! We'll head up the mountain early tomorrow!"

At dawn, the three people who came out of the hotel had changed into thick cotton-padded clothes and were ready to set off.

Klee put on a big hat that covered her pointed ears and a pair of cute, fluffy gloves.

Although she was wearing many clothes and carrying a small backpack, making her look round like a ball, she was still very cute.

Kaiya wore a thick coat with a fur collar that protected his neck. Despite wearing so many layers, he didn't look bulky at all.

Jiang Bai was still dressed in the same outfit as before from the Hall of Rebirth, and he even stuck the new soul-summoning banner on his back, not forgetting to be a human billboard.

"Let's go! Let's go!" Klee ran excitedly towards the snow-capped mountain, as if she were going on a picnic.

For her, this outing was no different.

Reaching the bridge connecting the snow-capped mountains, Klee stared intently at the fish in the water.

I wonder what the fish from the snow mountain tastes like; her little one is itching to eat.

Kaiya saw through her plan at a glance and put on a half-smile.

"Klee, you can't."

"Oh..." Klee was a little disappointed, but when she thought of blowing up the big nails, she immediately forgot about it.

The path up the mountain from here is easier than the path from Mingyun Town in Liyue.

There are many people on this road, and there is much less snow on it, so it's not slippery when you walk on it.

The surrounding monsters have been cleared out, and there are emergency supply depots every so often to prevent food shortages in the snowy mountains.

If Jiang Bai had taken this route from the beginning, the time it would have taken to climb the mountain could have been reduced by half.

As a cavalry captain, Kaeya knew Mondstadt's terrain like the back of his hand.

This includes snow-capped mountains.

Although he hadn't been to the snow mountain often, he still knew the way to the Seven Gods Statue.

Under his guidance, the ascent was quite rapid.

It was fast, but it was also really cold.

Klee's little face was red from the cold, almost matching the color of her clothes.

Jiang Bai helped her cover her head with a scarf, leaving only her eyes showing.

"Klee is now the masked Spark Knight!"

Claire's voice came through the scarf with a slightly muffled tone, but her excited voice showed that she was in a good mood.

Despite her young age, she showed no signs of fatigue after climbing the mountain for so long.

This spirit lasted until they entered the cave leading to the summit.

"It's so cold... Klee's going to freeze into an ice sculpture..."

Keli wrapped herself tightly in her thick cotton coat, her teeth chattering.

"Why is it so cold here..."

"Because we're getting close to the summit."

Jiang Bai looked up at the top of the dark stone wall.

Right here, there is a road leading upwards.

It would take a considerable amount of time to climb up, and Klee definitely wouldn't be able to keep going.

Fortunately, there were helpers above.

He put his hands in front of his mouth like megaphones and shouted loudly upwards.

"Ah~Be~Do~"

His shouts echoed through the cave, creating layers upon layers of reverberations.

The news also reached Aberdo's ears.

Have you arrived yet?

Abedo's voice came from above, and it was much clearer than Jiang Bai's.

Hearing Jiang Bai's voice coming from below, he had a bad feeling.

Sure enough, Jiang Bai said:

"Lower the basket down, and hoist Klee up in it."

Chapter 134 Prelude to the Explosion

Abedo sighed, knowing this would be the outcome.

Once Keli finds out what they're going to do, she'll definitely pester Jiang Bai to come along.

As for the letter he wrote, it can't be said to be useful; it can only be said to be completely useless.

Sighing as I may be, since Klee is already here, I can't let her freeze down there.

He gathered some materials and ores and used alchemy to create a basket and rails on the spot, tied them with ropes, and threw them down through the hole.

The rope took quite a while to reach the bottom, making a crisp sound.

Jiang Bai put Keli into the basket and tugged on the rope. Abedo, who had received the instruction, slowly pulled Keli up.

The wheel creaked and groaned, and the basket scraped against the stone wall with a harsh sound.

Klee sat obediently in the basket as the surroundings gradually brightened from darkness.

Jiang Bai and Kaiya slowly climbed up from below her.

Upon reaching the summit, Cleo excitedly jumped out of the basket and hugged Abedo tightly.

"Klee misses her brother Abedo so much!"

Looking at little Cleo clinging to his leg, Abedo's somewhat helpless expression softened.

This child can be incredibly cute when he's being adorable, and incredibly mischievous when he's being naughty.

He patted Klee's head and pointed to the campsite in the distance, saying, "It's cold here, let's go warm ourselves by the fire over there."

Claire didn't linger in Abedo's embrace; she let go after a short hug and didn't go to warm herself by the fire. Her eyes darted around the mountaintop.
